I knocked at the door and it was pulled open, instead of seeing my best friend I was greeted by his sister Lani.

"Hello Lani! Is Tubbo around?."

"Yeah he is, TUBBO ITS FOR YOU!!!." She yelled through the house then walked away. stood in the open doorway awkwardly, I heard some people talking from the coach I glanced over to see, George, Dream and Karl I hope Sapnap is not on the couch. Me and him are going to have some problems, Tubbo walked into the living room staring at me. It took him a moment his mouth dropped and he just stood there. I waved at him, dream and Karl were staring at me, but I didn't care, all I cared about was Tubbo and my son. Tubbo's face lit up and he ran to me jumping into my arms and holding me tightly he nearly knocked me over, I could tell from his messy hair he had to have just woken up. After he broke the long hug he bounced up and down smiling, he took my hand and pulled me inside. Now I could very clearly tell Sapnap was here, with a broken arm cast. I turned back to a very excited Tubbo.

"Dude I missed you so fucking much! So has Micheal! Let me go wake him up!." He ran back to his room closing the door. I was going to follow but I sat down at the kitchen bar instead.

"Dream why the fuck is he here." Sapnap basically had growled out his words laced with full hatred and anger.

"I dont fucking know Sap, one of Tubbos little buddies I'm guessing."

"So Ender Freak how was the center?." Sapnap laughed out I shrugged and pointed to Karl who was sat next to him.

"Ask Karl, he knows all about the center now." Sapnap and everyone for that matter turned to Karl who dropped his ears down and laughed nervously.

"Sapnap I kind of like Ranboo, like he is a decently nice guy." Sapnaps face turned confused like he had been betrayed.

"What the fuck Karl! Your taking his side?! He litteraly sent me to the fucking ER!." Sapnap raised his voice at Karl, I saw that Karl sunk into the couch and covered his ears.

"Sapnap please-." Karl mummed and Sapnap stopped yelling and spoke softer.

"Karl, honey im sorry I didn't mean to.-"

"Im sorry did you just call Karl honey?." Dream asked in a disgusted voice.

"I didn't mean to- I just misspoke-."

"What are you gay Sapnap..?" Dream laughed.

"Dream what the fuck!." George got up off of the couch and stormed off out of the door.

"wait George I didn't mean to- I are you.?!" Sapnap didn't say anything just shook his head yes slowly, as Karl hugged him.

"I didn't mean to-."

"Well you did." Karl said with full anger as him and Sapnap stood up and left too. I noticed Dream was a bit teary eyed, I didn't say anything. I heard Tubbo's door open and I got up and Michael ran to me, I picked him up and hugged him. I sat down on my knees as Michael said gibberish to me in Piglin that I couldn't make out, Tubbo sat next to me and kissed my check. I was a bit taken aback but I didn't protest just smiled watch made Tubbo smile as well Michael then started to run back to Tubbo's room. Going to grab something im sure.

"What are you both Faggots too." Dream scoffed I guess he saw that Tubbo had kissed my check, but that doesn't mean anything. Right? So why is my face hot now. I used to kiss Bill's check when I was younger, parents kiss their kids checks all the time? Its just a friendly way of showing someone you love them, I know Tubbo doesn't like me romantically so why did Dream just say that we were gay, when we weren't. That was before I noticed Tubbo was crying a bit.

"No wonder you have no friends! You don't just say that to someone!." Tubbo yelled.

"What's the big deal its just a word."

"Its a fucking SLUR!!." I noticed Dream was now crying too.

"Im sorry Tubbo.." He whispered out.

"Your not sorry for shit Dream!. You dont- You dont mean it when you say your sorry!- you never have!. I- Im not- I just- Im not str- I am gay Dream!!!." Tubbo sturred at lot in between his cries, I was a bit taken back by what he said because he didn't tell me, and im sure he didn't want me to know like this. Dream got up and stormed off to his room and I was left on the floor with a crying Tubbo.

"You are..?" I asked, I don't know why I asked. I definitely didnt need to confront him about being gay now. I needed to comfort him. He didn't say anything but he got up and ran away from me, I followed behind him he had dashed into a room and tired to shut the door behind him but I caught it. He went and sat by the large bed that was in the center of the room. I walked up to him slowly and sat down next to him, he blocked his face like I was going to hit him. I opened my arms and slowly wrapped them around his neck. He hugged back tightly. He sobbed into my neck witch I do admit hurt a fuck ton but I didn't care right now. I stood up and broke the hug he cried harder just holding onto my waist, I sat down on the big bed and pulled him on top of me, he cried his eyes out.

"Im sorry!"

"Im so sorry I didn't- I didn't want to tell you!."

"Shhh, its alright Tubbo."

"Please. Please- don't hate me- I cant bare to be without- you and Please- just - dont leave me!." I rubbed his back.

"Im not leaving anytime soon I promise. How long have you known..?"

"Since I was in Middle school, I haven't ever told anything so- I just." (age 11-13)

"Well I promise you that I dont not care that your gay- Like I dont think anything diffrent you, and I promise I still love you."

"Thank you Ranboo, it means a lot."

"Is there a reason why you didn't want to tell me..?"

"Well um my real parnets were homophobic, so it was taught to both me and Dream to be homophobic, every June they would drag us to pride to hold up signs."

"Oh I understand, Well it doesn't matter to me I promise you."

"Thank you, can we go check on Michael and head to bed..?" I nodded and we got up and walked to Tubbo's room and got ready for bed.

"Ranboo can I try something..?"

"Depends on what it is."

"I wanna give you a ear massage!."

"Thats random." I laughed.

"No it helps."

"With?."

"Sleep!." he started massaging my ears.

"How will this help?."

"With the sleepwalking! no clue how, but it makes you sleepy." he told me looking at Michael who had turned off the lamp now and was asleep.

Tubbo POV

"andddd done!." Ranboo fell back onto the bed.

"Ranboo..?" I heard soft purring coming from him. I smiled widely, i've never seen this side of Ranboo before I cuddled onto his chest and Michael was on the other side of him asleep.
